Horizon view
Horizon from Dorsum Gast
24.3753° N, 8.7068° E · cell 24RFV
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.6° above the horizontal, 53.1 km away at azimuth 290°.
- Farthest visible point
- 100 km away at azimuth 235°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,500 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.0° high at azimuth 126°, 48.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:10 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
